Technical solutions of the present invention will be further illustrated below in detail in combination with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

First Embodiment

The first embodiment of the present invention provides an information processing method, applied to a mobile electronic device. The electronic device is provided with an image collection unit, and the image collection unit can carry out image collection; as shown in FIG. 1, the method includes:

step 101, a first instruction is acquired, wherein the first instruction is used for indicating to carry out image collection based on target tracking. The electronic device can acquire the first instruction when a user triggers a operation for tracking target and collecting images, for example, when the user triggers a specific button on the electronic device, the electronic device acquires the first instruction; or when the user triggers a specific button on a control interface (it can be the own control interface of the electronic device and can also be the control interface of a control device that keeps communication with the electronic device), the electronic device acquires the first instruction, and so on.

It should be noted that, the electronic device in the embodiment of the present invention refers to an electronic device that can achieve automatic movement, the so-called automatic movement refers to movement that can be automatic achieved according to automatic acquired information without external control, for example: automatic movement control (e.g., obstacle avoidance, path planning) based on the detection of an external environment, or autonomous movement control based on target tracking, and so on. The electronic device in the embodiment of the present invention is required to at least have the two functions of target tracking and image collection, the so-called target tracking refers to that the electronic device can track a target object to move, for example, tracking by keeping a certain distance and angle with the target object; and the so-called image collection refers to that the electronic device can carry out image collection on the target object, such as shooting, picture recording.

Step 102, the first instruction is responded to, and position information between the target object and the electronic device is acquired.

After acquiring the first instruction, the electronic device responds to the first instruction and acquires the position information between the target object and the electronic device through a position information measurement tool of the electronic device. It should be noted that, there can be a variety of position information measurement tools, including measurement tools (e.g., a GPS positioning tool) that can measure absolute position information of the target object and the electronic device, as well as measurement tools (e.g., based on ultra wideband, ultrasonic, infrared distance measurement, sonar, radar, binocular vision and the like) that can measure a relative position relationship (e.g., a relative distance and an included angle) between the target object and the electronic device.

Step 103a, a first parameter is acquired according to the position information, and a movement state of the electronic device is controlled according to the first parameter, so that the electronic device tracks the target object, wherein the first parameter is a parameter used for controlling the movement state of the electronic device.

After acquiring the position information between the target object and the electronic device, the electronic device can acquire the relative position relationship between itself and the target object, the first parameter used for controlling the movement state of the electronic device is acquired accordingly, and the first parameter is executed to control the movement of the electronic device, so that the electronic device can track the target object in real time.

For example, after acquiring the absolute position information of the target object and the electronic device through the GPS positioning tool, the electronic device calculates the absolute position information where the electronic device needs to leave for according to a preset tracking condition (e.g., a tracking distance, a tracking angle and the like), and calculates the first parameter according to the absolute position information needing to leave for and the current absolute position information of the electronic device, the first parameter is used for describing a translation speed and a rotating speed of the electronic device, and the electronic device travels according to the translation speed and the turning speed to arrive at the absolute position needing to leave for; and in the travelling process, the electronic device will still continuously acquire the absolute position information of the target object and the electronic device and continuously calculate a new first parameter, so as to continuously control the translation speed and the turning speed of the electronic device, and thus the electronic device can continuously track the target object.

As another example, the electronic device acquires a relative distance and an included angle between the target object and the electronic device through a relative position measurement tool (e.g., based on ultra wideband, ultrasonic, infrared distance measurement, sonar, radar, binocular vision and the like), calculates a distance adjustment amount and an angle adjustment amount of the electronic device according to the preset tracking condition (e.g., the tracking distance, the tracking angle and the like), and calculates the first parameter according to the distance adjustment amount and the angle adjustment amount, the first parameter is used for describing the translation speed and the turning speed of the electronic device, and the electronic device travels according to the translation speed and the turning speed; and in the travelling process, the electronic device will still continuously acquire the absolute position information of the target object and the electronic device and continuously calculate the new first parameter, so as to continuously control the translation speed and the turning speed of the electronic device, and thus the electronic device can continuously track the target object.

Step 103b, a second parameter is acquired according to the position information, and an image collection posture of the image collection unit is controlled according to the second parameter, so that the image collection unit can acquire an image satisfying a first condition in a process when the electronic device tracks the target object.

After acquiring the position information between the target object and the electronic device, the electronic device can acquire the relative position relationship between itself and the target object, and thus the electronic device can acquire the second parameter used for controlling the image collection posture of the image collection unit according to this relative position relationship; and the image collection posture of the image collection unit is adjusted according to the second parameter, so that the image collection unit can acquire the image satisfying the first condition in the process when the electronic device tracks the target object.

The first condition can be used for restricting the position/area or the like of the target object in the image collected by the image collection unit, for example, the first condition is used for restricting that the target object only needs to be located in the composition of the image collection unit, or the first condition is used for restricting that the target object is located in a central rectangular/circular area of the composition of the image collection unit, and so on.

The image collection posture can include: a pitch, a yaw and a roll of the image collection unit, the pitch refers to a rotating angle of the image collection unit around an X axis, the yaw refers to a rotating angle of the image collection unit around a Y axis, and the roll refers to a rotating angle of the image collection unit around a Z axis. The second parameter can include a pitch adjustment amount, a yaw adjustment amount and a roll adjustment amount, and is used for describing the adjustment amounts of the image collection unit on the pitch, the yaw and the roll. For example, by means of the adjustment on the pitch, the yaw and the roll, the target object is located in the composition of the image collection unit; or by means of the adjustment on the pitch, the yaw and the roll, the target object is located in the central rectangular/circular area of the composition of the image collection unit.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device continuously acquires the position information between the target object and the electronic device according to certain frequency, so as to continuously update the corresponding first parameter and second parameter to continuously update the movement state of the electronic device according to the updated first parameter, so that the electronic device continuously tracks the target object, and the image collection posture of the image collection unit is continuously updated according to the updated second parameter, so that the image collection unit can always acquire the image satisfying the first condition in the process of tracking the target object.

In an implementation, preset first restriction data is stored in the electronic device, the first restriction data is used for describing a restricted movement track or a restricted movement area of the electronic device, and based on the control of the first restriction data, the electronic device cannot move to the outside of the restricted movement track or the restricted movement area, but the electronic device automatic moves on the restricted movement track or in the restricted movement area; the method in the embodiment of the present invention further includes:

after acquiring the first parameter according to the position information, correcting the first parameter according to the first restriction data, and controlling the movement state of the electronic device according to the corrected first parameter, so that the electronic device only tracks the target object on the movement track or in the movement area.

That is to say, in the implementation, the movement track or the movement area of the electronic device is limited by the preset first restriction data, so that the movement device only moves on the preset movement track or in the preset movement area; and then, by adopting the implementation, the electronic device can only track the target object under restricted conditions (i.e., the restriction of the movement track or the movement area). Due to the restriction of the first restriction data, after acquiring the first parameter according to the position information of itself and the target object, the electronic device needs to correct the first parameter by using the first restriction data, to prevent the uncorrected first parameter from controlling the electronic device to move beyond the movement track or the movement area; and specifically, the electronic device can predict the movement track of the electronic device according to the first parameter, compare the predicted movement track with the restricted movement track or the restricted movement area to judge whether the predicted movement track exceeds the restricted movement track or the restricted movement area, and if so, correct the first parameter according to the first restriction data, so the predicted movement track is prevented from exceeding the restricted movement track or the restricted movement area by the corrected first parameter, and if not, the first parameter does not need to be corrected.

In another implementation, preset second restriction data is stored in the electronic device, the second restriction data is used for describing the restricted movement track of the electronic device and a movement strategy of the electronic device on the restricted movement track, the movement strategy is used for describing a movement rule (route, time, speed and the like) of the electronic device on the restricted movement track, and the method in the embodiment of the present invention further includes:

acquiring a second instruction, wherein the second instruction is used for indicating the electronic device to move along the restricted movement track in accordance with the movement strategy and carry out image collection on the target object in a movement process; for example, the movement strategy specifies that the electronic device moves from a point A to a point B on the restricted movement track, or the restricted movement track is a closed loop track, and the movement strategy specifies that the electronic device circularly moves along the closed loop track (i.e., circling), and the like; and

responding to the second instruction, controlling the electronic device to move on the restricted movement track in accordance with the movement strategy according to the second restriction data, and in the movement process of the electronic device, acquiring the position information between the target object and the electronic device, acquiring the second parameter according to the position information, and controlling the image collection posture of the image collection unit according to the second parameter, so that the image collection unit can acquire the image satisfying the first condition in the movement process of the electronic device.

For example, the electronic device is controlled to move from the point A to the point B on the restricted movement track according to the second restriction data, and the electronic device acquires the position information between the target object and the electronic device in the movement process, then acquires the second parameter used for controlling the image collection posture of the image collection unit accordingly and controls the posture of the image collection unit through the second parameter, so that the image collection unit can acquire the image satisfying the first condition (for example, the lens of the image collection unit is always aligned with the target object).

As another example, the electronic device is controlled to circularly move (i.e., circling) on the closed loop track according to the second restriction data, and the electronic device acquires the position information between the target object and the electronic device in the movement process, then acquires the second parameter used for controlling the image collection posture of the image collection unit accordingly and controls the posture of the image collection unit through the second parameter, so that the image collection unit can acquire the image satisfying the first condition (for example, the lens of the image collection unit is always aligned with the target object).

In the implementation, it is not required that the movement of the electronic device tracks the target object, because the second restriction data requires that the electronic device moves along a certain restricted movement track according to a certain movement strategy; but it is required that the image collection unit of the electronic device can track the target object, and the image collection posture of the image collection unit is adjusted according to the position change of the electronic device and the target object at any time, so that the lens of the image collection unit is aligned with the target object.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the restricted movement track of the electronic device can be recorded in the tracking manner:

acquiring a third instruction, wherein the third instruction is used for indicating to start recording the movement track of the electronic device;

responding to the third instruction, and recording time-varying coded disc data (it can be used for describing a wheel rotating speed of the electronic device) and time-varying inertial measurement unit (IMU) data (it can be used for describing a three-axis angular speed and an acceleration of the electronic device) in the movement process of the electronic device, wherein the coded disc data and the IMU data are used for describing the restricted movement track;

acquiring a fourth instruction, wherein the fourth instruction is used for indicating to stop recording the movement track of the electronic device; and

responding to the fourth instruction, and storing the recorded time-varying coded disc data and IMU data.

A teaching/playback movement track recording method is described above, for example, the user pushes the electronic device to move from the point A to the point B, and the electronic device records the time-varying coded disc data and the time-varying IMU data in the movement process; and then, the electronic device is placed to the point A again, and the electronic device implements the time-varying coded disc data and the time-varying IMU data to autonomously move from the point A to the point B.

Of course, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this teaching/playback movement track recording method, and the time-varying coded disc data and the time-varying IMU data can also be directly pre-stored in the electronic device in an encoding mode.

In another implementation, the method in the embodiment of the present invention further includes: acquiring a third parameter of the electronic device, and further adjusting the image collection posture of the image collection unit according to the third parameter after acquiring the image satisfying the first condition, in order to acquire an image satisfying a second condition, wherein the third parameter is used for describing the own posture of the electronic device.

In order to reduce the influence of the posture fluctuation of the electronic device on the working stability of the image collection unit (e.g., keeping the stability of the lens) in the movement process, in the implementation, the posture information, namely the third parameter (e.g., pitch, yaw, roll or the like) of the electronic device is acquired according to certain frequency, and the image collection posture of the image collection unit is further adjusted (may be fine tuned) accordingly to improve the visual effect of the image.

For example, the first condition restricts that the target object is located in the central area of the composition of the image collection unit, when the image collection unit is controlled by the second parameter to only satisfy the first condition (the target object is located in the central area of the composition), the acquired image effect cannot be ensured, this is because the electronic device experiences jitter and jolt in general, which is liable to cause the jitter of the target object in the central area of the composition, and the image effect acquired in this case is poor; and since the third parameter of the electronic device is measured, the posture of the image collection unit is adjusted in a mode with higher sensitivity, so that the shooting posture of the image collection unit is always kept at an optimal posture (optimal pitch, yaw, roll) without being influenced by the jitter or jolt of the electronic device, and thus the visual effect of the acquired image is improved.

In another implementation, an ultra wideband (UWB) tag is arranged on the target object, the electronic device includes a UWB unit, and the acquiring the position information between the target object and the electronic device includes:

carrying out, by the electronic device, UWB signal interaction with the UWB tag through the UWB unit, and acquiring the position information between the target object and the electronic device based on a signal sent by the UWB unit to the UWB tag and a received return signal of the UWB tag.

That is to say, based on the UWB technology, the electronic device can track the position of the target object, the UWB tag is installed on the target object, the UWB unit is installed on the electronic device, the signal is transmitted to the UWB tag by the UWB unit, the return signal of the UWB tag is received, a relative distance d and a relative angle θ between the UWB tag and the UWB unit can be acquired, and the relative position relationship between the UWB tag and the UWB unit is described accordingly; and according to the relative position relationship between the UWB tag and the UWB unit, and considering a preset position conversion relationship among the UWB tag, the target object, the UWB unit and the electronic device, the relative position relationship between the electronic device and the target object can be acquired and is used for describing the relative position between the electronic device and the target object. The relative distance d between the UWB tag and the UWB unit can be measured by technology based on TOF (Time of Flight), and the relative distance d is converted by calculating a time difference between transmission and reflection of radio waves (or optical, acoustic waves or the like) by the TOF. The relative angle θ between the UWB tag and the UWB unit can be measured by technology based on AOA (Angle of arrival), the AOA is used for sensing the arrival direction of a transmitting node signal through some hardware devices based on a positioning algorithm of the angle of arrival of the signal to calculate the relative direction or the relative angle between a receiving node and an anchor node.

It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to adopting the UWB technology to acquire the position information between the target object and the electronic device, in order to enable the electronic device to track the target object; and the embodiment of the present invention can also adopt such technical means as ultrasonic, infrared distance measurement, sonar, radar, binocular vision, GPS and the like to acquire the position information between the target object and the electronic device, in order to enable the electronic device to track the target object, and this is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

By implementing the first embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device can track the target object and can adaptively adjust the image collection posture of the image collection unit in a tracking process, so that the target object is always in the composition of the image collection unit; and moreover, the influence of jitter and jolt of the electronic device on the image collection posture of the image collection unit in the movement process is detected, and the image collection posture is further fine tuned, so that the image collection unit can deal with the jitter and jolt of the electronic device in the movement process, so as to guarantee the visual effect of the acquired image. The target tracking shooting in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited by shooting environments or shooting ranges, and image/video shooting with higher degrees of freedom and flexibility can be achieved, so that the application scenarios are extensive.
